Should Chicago install roundabouts or more traffic circles? Here's what you told us

We asked readers whether Chicago should be like the suburbs and install roundabouts or more traffic circles. Here's what you told us, lightly edited for clarity:

"Sadly, Chicago drivers are unable to navigate the traffic circles we have now, so adding more would make traffic more dangerous, if that's even possible."
— Tom Covell

"They'd never do it simply since it will eat into their red light cam money."
— Graham Stegall

"I think Chicago would benefit greatly if it implemented more traffic circles near school districts, especially in residential streets. ... They can easily be implemented ... creating a safer environment for city residents!"
— Jaime Duque

"The learning curve is too big, and people will be flattened."
— Christine Bock

"I live alongside a roundabout in Lake County. ... Before the roundabout, traffic would back up for a quarter to half a mile while waiting to traverse the intersection during rush hours. Now, traffic of three to four cars may accumulate for seconds during the same time spans."
— Mike Lyne

"Drive the back streets of Rogers Park and get back to us. I'd focus on the streets between Pratt [Boulevard] and Devon [Avenue]. Oof. Oof. Oof."
— Suzanne Till

"[Roundabouts are] 80% safer while improving traffic flow and lowering emissions."
— Michael O'Leary

"Roundabouts could help with some of the multiway intersections like where Broadway meets Bryn Mawr and Ridge [avenues]."
— Michael Ross

"They're not really a solution that works with a lot of pedestrians or dense urban areas. They're for cars and work well where cars are all you expect to use an intersection."
— Chris Gray

"They are confusing. Without stop signs, you don't know where the driver is heading."
— Carol Kraines

"The Northwest Side already has some on neighborhood streets. No one uses them correctly, some driving completely straight over them. And they are too tight on the narrow streets."
— Brian Kuenstler

"Maybe at the six corners intersections. I don't know if there's enough room at other intersections."
— Ron Dobis

"It’s a grid for a reason."
— Kevan Davis
